Former Gov. Jeb Bush cheered Gov. Rick Scott who defeated former Gov. Charlie Crist in Tuesdays election.

Floridians made the right choice, Bush said. Congratulations to my friend Rick Scott on a well-deserved victory! Rick Scott delivered on the promises he made when he campaigned for his first term, and I know he will continue to work hard for our state every single day. Under four more years of Rick Scotts leadership, Florida will remain the best place in the nation to live, work, start a business, raise a family and retire.

In his role as chairman of the Republican Governors Association (RGA), Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., was a constant presence on the campaign trail with Gov. Rick Scott in Florida in the final days of his battle with former Gov. Charlie Crist, the Democratic candidate despite spending most of his political life in the GOP.

On Tuesday night, after Scott beat Crist, when the smoke cleared, Christie was quick to congratulate the Florida governor.

Miami-Dade School Board member Carlos Curbelo flipped a congressional seat over to the Republicans as he defeated U.S. Rep. Joe Garcia, D-Fla., on Tuesday. Reports from South Florida note that Garcia has conceded to Curbelo.

With 88 percent of the vote in, Curbelo had 52 percent while Garcia had 48 percent. After two defeats running for Congress, Garcia beat U.S. Rep. David Rivera, R-Fla., to claim the seat in 2012. Curbelo beat Rivera and other candidates back in August in the Republican primary.

Amendment 2, a proposal to expand medical marijuana use in the Sunshine State, failed to meet the 60 percent threshold to be added to the Florida Constitution. The proposal came up short, reaching 57 percent at the polls.

Tom Angell, the chairman of the Marijuana Majority, said some of the blame falls on Amendment 2s campaign which showcased prominent trial lawyer John Morgan.

Democrat Gwen Graham was a rare bright spot for her party on Tuesday as she defeated U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland, R-Fla.

With 98 percent of the vote in, Graham, the daughter of former Gov. and U.S. Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., took 51 percent of the vote while Southerland pulled in 49 percent. Southerland first won his congressional seat in 2010.

Gov. Rick Scott won a second term as governor of Florida on Tuesday, besting former Gov. Charlie Crist who, after spending most of his political life as a Republican, won the Democratic nomination in the primary.

With 97 percent of the vote in, Scott had 49 percent and Crist garnered 46 percent of the vote. Sunshine State News is calling the race for Scott. With a lead of more than 122,000 votes, Scott will win as Crist can only make up between 90,000-100,000 votes in South Florida counties where some of the vote is still outstanding.

U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., kept his congressional seat on Tuesday though by a smaller margin than he won in 2012. With 96 percent of votes in, Grayson took 54 percent while Republican Carol Platt stood with 43 percent. Marko Milakovich, who was running with no party affiliation, took 3 percent.

Winning his seat in a special election earlier this year, U.S. Rep. David Jolly, R-Fla., is headed back to Washington after his win on Tuesday over Libertarian Lucas Overby. With 96 percent of the vote in, Jolly had 75.5 percent while Overby took 24.5 percent.

U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Fla., represents a district where Republican voters outnumber Democrats. But, on Tuesday, Murphy scored a big win over Republican hopeful former state Rep. Carl Domino. National outlets called the race for Murphy who, with 15 percent of the vote in, took 60 percent while Domino trailed with 40 percent.

With 43 percent of votes in, U.S. Rep. Ander Crenshaw, R-Fla., will continue his time on the Florida political stage. First elected to Congress in 2000 after a long career in Tallahassee which saw rise to become president of the Florida Senate, Crenshaw won big on Tuesday, taking 78 percent of the vote. Crenshaw did not face a Democratic foe but did have two challengers running with no party affiliation: Paula Moser-Bartlett who took 16 percent and Gary Koniz who garnered 6 percent.
